"'Never anything less than an engaging, clear and thoroughly appetising scholarly introduction to the ""multiple identities in fragile balance"" that characterised the Victorian era'. * BBC History * 'Beautifully written, erudite and evocative... Whether you're a seasoned reader or a new student, this work has much to offer and is the best introduction available to the Victorians and their worlds.' -- Dr Sadiah Qureshi, Birmingham University ""This is undoubtedly the best single volume on Victorian culture and history out there – and not just for beginners. It is wide-ranging, incisive, smart, generous to other scholars and beautifully conceived: it will be integral to a generation of students’ understanding of the era."" -- Professor Simon Goldhill, University of Cambridge “I own a shelf full of introductions to the Victorians, but this one is unquestionably the best. The Victorians: A Beginner’s Guide covers all the key issues and topics in a lively, engaging, and authoritative manner. It also has the incomparable advantage of being written by one of the very best scholars in the field.” * Professor Timothy Larsen, Wheaton College, Illinois *"
